-This function is used in v8.6+ systems to set the WFE trap delay value in
-SCR_EL3. If this function returns TWED_DISABLED or is left unimplemented, this
-feature is not enabled.  The only hook provided is to set the TWED fields in
-SCR_EL3, there are similar fields in HCR_EL2, SCTLR_EL2, and SCTLR_EL1 to adjust
-the WFE trap delays in lower ELs and these fields should be set by the
-appropriate EL2 or EL1 code depending on the platform configuration.
